Re: Do you see what I see?
"Thank you Father," Sir Pedivere acknowledges the mishap gracefully by not mentioning it, merely reading instead. His face changes expression as he scans the rolled piece of parchment.
"I have been recalled to Court,"he begins, looking up from the letter and addressing the group. "Sir Vailario is here to assist you in my place." Sir Pedivere rolls the letter up, tucking it into his belt before moving. "It is has been explained to you why we are here?" he asks the newly arrived knight, receiving a nod to his question.
"My good yeoman, Colm, is now your man. He is a good scout and pathfinder, make use of his skills,"he gestured with a sweep of his arm towards the forest warden.
"Father Rys, and the good woman Chrissa, will tend your wounds and guard your soul should such become necessary,"he said, looking to the pair. "My friend Calis,"he said, going to the man and longtime friend to clap his shoulders, "Is my oldest and trusted companion. He makes himself useful in many ways and will make the quest more bearable merely by his company." He smiled at his friend with the pride of a brother. His gaze turned to Kimberly "This charming gentle I know not," he regards her for a moment, eliciting a downward glance of modesty on her part. "But it would seem these mountains are known to her, since the wizard we seek has been slain, perhaps she can be of some help to you." He regards Vailario and strides towards him. "Find that which we seek and solve the mystery of this good man's death if you can,"he gestured to the tower. "I must take my leave of you and return to the king with all haste."He moves to his horse, unsecuring the box containing the goblet that he had in his possession. "Guard this well Sir Vailario,"he nods thrusting it to him and turning back to his horse to take to its back.
"God speed you on this quest." He saluted Sir Vailario, nodded to the men, bowed his head to the ladies before turning and riding out in the direction they had taken the day before...
